Write your own carpe diem creative piece. You might write lyrics for your own carpe diem song in any style. You might try to imitate the melancholic, romantic tone of the poems you've read, or you might adopt the more modern style of today's songs, which are sometimes romantic, sometimes plaintive, sometimes humorous. You can also write a "call to action" speech or a slam poem.
